Verena,
I know that your posting is almost five years old and you may have already found the information you are looking, but are you still seeking information about Johann Jakob Frei who was born on the 23 July 1779 in Eichstetten? I think I located some Eichstetten church records about him while I was doing some research of the Danzeisen families in Eichstetten, as the Frei and Danzeisen family lines cross over to each other.
It looks like Johann Jakob Frei was married twice – first to Katharina Josslin and then to Maria Kehl.
Christian’s mother was Katharina Josslin and he was born 28 Oct 1820. Christian married Christine Frei a couple of years prior to their departure for the US.

I am not sure if this fully fits what you are looking for or not.

Rose (known as Penny by her nieces and nephew) is lovingly remembered by her nephew, Trevor Johnston (Tracy); nieces, Erin Hopkin (Keith) and Gaylene Wilkinson (Bernie) and their families; her step children, Moira Remmen, David Ness (Dianne) and Douglas Meville-Ness (Kate); the family of her late sister, Ruth Hauser; and special friends, Velma Kinsman and Karen Leier.

Rose made many new friends in Saskatoon but remained close to her Regina family, sister, Lylian and Bob Johnston. Rose worked with Tom at their Agro Records business following his retirement from the Western Producer. Rose cheerfully volunteered her time with various organizations from Cub Scouts to the Saskatoon Symphony. She enjoyed playing bridge, golfing and singing in a seniors' choir. She was predeceased by her husband, Tom; her parents, Ernst and Rosie Frei; her sisters, Lylian and Ruth; and brothers-in-law, Bob Johnston and Wally Hauser.

This is my great grandfather and I found his name in the 1900 federal census, but am unable to read his wife's name. Is there anyone that might see if they are listed in the Ohio State census of 1900 and perhaps tell me if you can read his wife's name. He married the next year after his wife died, so it is important that I find out the name of his second wife. They may have had some children that we don't know about.
He was born in Italy of Swiss parents in 1846. I know this is the correct person. I sure would appreciate some help on this. It is on page 58 page 1A on the federal census for Marion OH.
Many thanks,
